A cellarman —very carefully— is collecting wort from a fermentation tank at high krausen. He'll use it to prime a cask.
Translation:
- wort: unfermented beer, or beer during fermentation.
- high krausen: the most active stage of fermentation, with millions of yeast cells per milliliter.
- prime a cask: as a rule of thumb, a liter or so of high krausen wort contains sufficient yeast and unfermented sugar to carbonate 10.8 gallons of beer in a cask.

- Specifically, this photo is one in a photo montage depicting cask production at Heavy Seas Brewery in Baltimore, Maryland.
